Let me say this about that. As a young man, I was always interested in hearing the advice of my elders.  I figured that if they lived to be that old, they must know a few things, otherwise they would not have lived long enough to be…….well, old.  I did not always heed this advice, […]

Let me say this about that. I believe it is a noble pursuit to promote improvement and progress in all phases of our time here on the ’3rd rock from the Sun’.   LMSTAT attempts to do it’s share ……. sometimes, by pouring some much needed sunshine on the crap our government, religious, and business institutions […]

Let me say this about that. I’m just going to come right out and say this.  I believe that whoever wrote the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament got it wrong.  Maybe not the entire “Creation” thing, but the “First Sin” thing is completely askew.  I believe that Adam and the Serpent were just sitting around in the […]

Let me say this about that. Personally, I don’t care for Canadians.  They are a sneaky lot, and I think they are up to something.  America has been in wars all over the world, but I am convinced the biggest threat to our national security lies in Canada.  To begin with, the border separating the United […]

Let me say this about that. I’ve always wanted to be one of the ‘cool guys’.  But alas, I’m an engineer, and cool guys just don’t become engineers.  Look up ‘cool’ in Webster’s dictionary, and you’ll see a picture of an engineer ……. leaving the room.  Not being one of the cool guys gives me […]

Let me say this about that. I like dogs.  They are pure souls that personify the old adage “What you see is what you get.”  There is no lying, no dishonesty, no self promotion, no deception, and no tattoos.  In other words, the human race has much to learn from dogs.  I have made an […]

Let me say this about that. It has been said that “Life is hard, and then you die.”  It’s true that our time on this planet has it’s challenges and sometimes can be downright disheartening.  But every now and again, we see something sooooo funny that we nearly wet our pants – and the world turns […]

Let me say this about that. In 1973, Paul Simon recorded the song “Kodachrome” that contained the lyric, ‘When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it’s a wonder I can think at all.’  Amen, Brother Simon.  The older I get, the truer this becomes.  And it’s not just the […]

Let me say this about that. If you have never worked outside the U.S., let me tell you that the most difficult part is not the strange food, the odd customs, the living conditions, or lax security.  It’s communication.  Even when your local contacts speak English, that doesn’t necessarily mean that there is real “communication” […]

Let me say this about that. Seems that in America we’ll do just about anything to get out of a day’s work.  In order to soothe our guilt trip for being lazy, we have invented “holidays”.  Our logic is that somehow it would be sacreligious, unpatriotic, or disrespectful to actually go to work on these days […]
